Saint Dominic Loricatus — in Italian, San Domenico Loricato — (995–1060) was an Umbrian saint, born in the Italian village of Luceolis near Cantiano (then in Umbria, now in the Marche). His father, sensing social advancement, paid a bribe to have him ordained a priest when still a child. When he discovered the fact, he resolved on a life of penance and became a hermit in the woods near the abbey of S. Emiliano in Congiuntoli, then a Benedictine monk at the monastery of Fonte Avellana in 1040. Adjective of church Frontale (San Severino Marche).
